Milk Testing Raises U S Dairy Gains Across Provinces
Sees value in milk tests as Canadian associations struggle with cost of testers per herd while United States numbers climb. Last year Pennsylvania counted 85 associations with 860 604 cows tested and averages rose above 800 pounds butterfat and over 8 000 pounds milk per cow.
